At Birth Poems

Premium MemberBreathless Elation at Birth

Baby's first breath
Requires a regulated inhalation of air
Expelled through exhalation
Allowing life to begin.
This is usually followed by
Hearing baby's loud cry
Letting relieved parents to
Express their delighted excitement.
Signified by wide satisfied smiles
Sometimes this elation leaves them breathless.

SEPARATED AT BIRTH

In the process of 
Knowing you
He came to talk
So interesting
With speech
While my mate walked
...with you

Alone, it seemed
Uninterested in me
He lodged with beasts
I preferred beauty
And the questions
Hanging on trees
...forbidden

I reached for fruit
You said nothing
As I communed
You are too
Companion to me
Though both doomed
...to death

The creature violated
Me, again and again
As I yelled your name
I knew you would come
For

Premium MemberCrossed Up At Birth

How could anyone in their right mind
Choose war over peace
Conflict over stability
Upset over a smooth flow
Please enlighten me before I pass into the ages
Maybe I'm missing a few brain cells
But it is totally illogical to me
We carry on with our day to day activities
But looming in the back of the minds
Of all the peace loving

Life Doesn'T Begin At Birth: Try, Fail, Rebound

Life Doesn't Begin At Birth (Try, Fail, Rebound)

When you're down depressed in a heap
and you see their want is all they seek
when you feel you've died but heart beats
numb are your nerves

your worst fears have fallen into place
when you've lost it all as it's gone to waste
and love fell short never there to trace
couldn't be

Premium MemberI Was Thrown Out At Birth

Twins! Our mother was excited 
Until she met me.
I was the odd one.

My sister was thrilled
But I was thrown out at birth.
My sister came back to visit sometimes

Until she forgot
Too socialized to come back
I was the wrong color

Not my fault
But I paid the price
Wrong color. Wrong life.

At Birth
By: Tom
11-6-2019

Each life is like a taper seen burning bright,
Consuming our wick illuminating the night.

By mid life we’ve reached our burns climax,
Later comes a flicker, then a puddle of wax.

At Birth
Written: by Miracle man
9-3-2019

life’s mast was hoisted and sails unfurled,
And while I’ve never became a man of the world.

I’ve done my best with what God has given,
And by a fecund imagination I’ve been driven.

Like Jonah, I too, was found inside a great fish, 
Jesus gave me hope and now I cease to wish.

From the

Premium MemberLooking Into Myself At Birth

There I was conceived at birth
if then all my life I could've seen
all that was planned in my future
asking what does all this mean?

It was in these early weeks of life
that tongue was tied staying every day
what thoughts had I in these times?
no one knows about this lump of clay

At that time my mother gave

Premium MemberJoined At Birth, Anima

To be of nature apart from myself
And find its meaning is threaded from birth
To be male or female, to be one self
As two are one, its strange value or worth
To find there is beauty to pursue
To be male , yet be gentle to comply
And understand empathy has value
To see a feminine world through a male

Premium MemberCursed At Birth and Lonely

Such a romantic soul am I
But I live my life in limbo
As time flays by
Each day one step further
To the grave
Cursed by loneliness
Void of love I so need and crave.

It hurts so much when I am in town 
With so many women and couples around
Everyone seems to have someone but me
I am just another face

No Baby Smiles At Birth

No baby smiles on birth
Once tender
In a beautiful
World

all was peaceful 

Water running from
Her body to keep
The tender alive

Day  by day 

The tender grow
With no stress 

Oh The tender feed
From her body
What ever so come

there was 
No hunger 
Neither anger
There was enough 

Oh there was no 
Laws or rules
Only that of nature
Was for the tender

Day
